KYB is the world's largest supplier of shocks and struts to new vehicle manufacturers, and the Excel-G is built on the same assembly lines. It uses the very same high quality components that together work to restore the vehicle's originally designed capabilities such as handling and stability. The Excel-G is a twin-tube gas hydraulic shock that consists of an inner working cylinder and an outer fluid reservoir. The shaft and piston force hydraulic fluid in and out of both, which dampens the vehicle's body movement. Two multi-stage valves of the shock work to provide better handling characteristics during virtually all driving conditions. The working cylinder that the piston works in is also very important, that's why the experts at KYB use extruded tubing which provides a positive seal and consistent performance.

As the name implies, the strut mount is a component that attaches the suspension strut to the vehicle. The strut mount optimizes suspension performance by providing a smooth steering response and reducing vibration. The strut mount includes an insulator and on front struts, a steering pivot bearing. The insulator gets pushed and pulled as many as 1,500 times for every mile driven, and the bearing rotates every time you turn the steering wheel, so it’s easy to see how this part can become worn. To prevent noise and vibration, and preserve smooth steering and proper front end alignment, when you install new KYB struts, install new KYB strut mounts as well. They’re built to meet or exceed OE quality.

RalliTEK's overload springs are designed to maintain proper ground clearance, suspension alignment, and headlight throw as you carry heavy loads or tow a small utility trailer. about 18% stiffer than the stock springs, RalliTEK's springs are garunteed for improved performance while maintaining ride quality.

Note: RalliTEK does not recommend using overload springs with any upgraded rear sway bar. Do not pair with legacy struts. From the factory the 3rd and 4th gen Outbacks sit lower in the rear so if your goal is a slight raised rear then pair the raised height rear springs with the standard height front springs.
